I work on integrative, whole-cell modeling of the red blood cell, incorporating structural, proteomics, lipidomics, and glycomics data into models for study using molecular dynamics simulations. My work involves developing and deploying cell-scale modeling methodologies for efficient assembly of large molecular models. My scientific interest in the permeation of metabolic gases oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitric oxide across biological membranes motivates my modeling of the red blood cell. I begin my fellowship early in 2026, working with QCB faculty Professors Erik Lindahl, Stockholm University, and Emad Tajkhorshid, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, leaders in the field of MD simulations.
